It is typically used after a notebook has been stopped, allowing you to resume your previous environment seamlessly.

1. If your organization has multiple projects, identify the Project ID from the Project List section.
2. Run the following command in your terminal, and replace \<notebook name> with the name of the notebook you want to start:

```
cldkctl notebook start <notebook name>
```

3. If your notebook is running in a different namespace, include the --namespace flag followed by the namespace name.
4. Wait for a few moments while the system initializes the notebook environment and allocates the required resources.
5. Once the process completes successfully, the terminal displays the message “✔ Notebook started”.
6. To verify the notebook’s current state, refer to the Notebook List section.
